quote [ Millions of children from poor families who excel in math and science rarely live up to their potential—and that hurts everyone. ]
A programmer friend of mine who grew up on a farm used to tell us about his father who would often say, "Ten chickens can't hatch an egg in a tenth the time, but they can produce ten times the eggs. And over time that's just as good, if not better if you've got the room to scale."

The article completely encapsulates it's argument in the nurture side of development theory. It skips past little tid bits like, "Children whose parents have patents in a specific field—say, antennas—are also likely to patent in exactly the same field as their parents did" without addressing the question... to paraphrase your tagline... do good chickens lay good eggs?

and
"suggesting that it’s factors in a child’s earlier life" (before fully effected by the environment)

But that's not surprising, given the source, which skirts around the lessons of the failure of the Head Start program with a title like The Never-Ending Struggle to Improve Head Start that obfuscates the real discovery that by the 3rd grade there was not discernible difference in development.
